The Essendon Bowl sign was erected in
1962 and was a significant survivor from this era, until it was
dismantled in 2004.

The sign featured a metal box with metal-trough letters spelling
"ESSENDON BOWL". Behind the neon lettering, the metal box
was painted with red and black stripes, which was perhaps a
reference to the colours of the Essendon Football Club in the
Australian Football League.

An internally-illuminated acrylic light box was positioned beside the neon
and depicted a bowling pin. Below this was another metal box, but
with unprotected neon lettering which spelled "AIRCONDITIONED".

The bowling alley has been demolished and the land is now subject to
development.
